Bibliography

For one to come to know and understand the faith of Catholic Christianity, the availability of primary documents of the Church is important.

In this bibliography we present those published works for which we owe a debt of inestimable gratitude. As the Bible would put it, there is nothing new under the sun. Hence we drew heavily from these faithful people of yesterday and today in reformulating in Biblical terms the faith of Catholic Christians. We are indebted to many authors for their scholarship. This bibliography also serves as an excellent source for primary documents on Roman Catholic faith and practice.
